    • Seeing Right : Evangelicals And The Aesthetics Of Virtue And Vice

      $35.00

      Evangelical identity in the United States has become increasingly contested over the past several years as many try to fathom adherents’ motives. Seeing Right suggests that it is through the exploration of aesthetic texts that we can better understand. With a focus on highlighting Evangelical virtues and vices, Seeing Right analyzes the aesthetics fundamental to Evangelical identity and moral formation.

      Aesthetic texts and practices represent a fundamental source of Evangelical moral formation, providing a narrative that shapes imaginations and dispositions. Jason Fallin traces the process of formation as it grows out of Evangelical interactions with the aesthetic texts produced by Operation Christmas Child, the radio stations of K-Love, and Christian cinema. He then discovers the relationship between Evangelicals’ engagement with these aesthetic texts and the practices they animate.

      Moral formation is key for all Christianity, thus through these processes at work in Evangelical culture, Seeing Right offers insight both into Evangelical development and into the processes that fund one’s own formation.

    • Passing The Torch

      $30.00

      What is the purpose and meaning of classical education?

      Imagine a world where education isn’t just about information transfer but about shaping the soul, where students are nurtured to become virtuous, morally self-regulating citizens.

Lewis, Passing the Torch intertwines the wisdom of diverse epochs to argue for an educational renaissance grounded in classical Christian values.

    • Makers By Nature

      $28.00

      An Artist’s Look at Theology, Art, and Philosophy

      Dear Tom,

      Thanks for writing again-and for this unusually philosophical response to my letter! In response: my theology of art is my theology. Period. I think of God as the Artist and all human artists as eternal apprentices. Consequently, all my thinking about God involves the centrality of beauty and the act of making. As I’ve said many times, we were made by a Maker to be makers. . . .
      Bruce

      In a series of fictional letters, respected artist and educator Bruce Herman passes on wisdom to a younger generation. He explores a wide array of practical, philosophical, and theological issues, such as:

      *What is art versus craft? What is good art?
      *What is the calling of an artist? Of a Christian artist?
      *What do you do when you’re stuck in your creative process?
      *How should Christians relate to the contemporary art scene?
      *What is beauty, and how is it relevant in our world?

      Full of personal stories and behind-the-scene looks at Herman’s own artistic process, Makers by Nature also features full-color artwork by Herman and several of his former students. Artists and art lovers will find insight, wonder, and encouragement to consider the Maker’s invitation to creativity, however it takes shape.

    • Church In Dark Times

      $19.99

      We expect evil to appear in obvious forms: malice, cruelty, and contempt. We also expect to find villains at the helm of evil movements and organizations, leaders with dark impulses and motivations. But all too often, malevolence is more subtle, hiding behind our own best intentions.

      In The Church in Dark Times, cultural critic Mike Cosper unveils this dynamic in the growing crisis of abuse and other failures in modern evangelical churches. Drawing on the work of twentieth-century political theorist Hannah Arendt, Cosper explores what we can learn from her theory of the “banality of evil”–the thoughtlessness that allows ordinary people to become complicit in all manner of corruption. He uncovers the underlying causes of the breakdowns of the church and offers practices that foster healing and renewal.

      This book will engage Christian leaders and all followers who want to better understand how church crises keep happening–and how we can resist them and move forward.

    • Road To Wisdom

      $30.00

      As the COVID-19 pandemic revealed, we have become not just a hyper-partisan society but also a deeply cynical one, distrustful of traditional sources of knowledge and wisdom. Skepticism about vaccines led to the needless deaths of at least 230,000 Americans. “Do your own research” is now a rallying cry in many online rabbit holes. Yet experts can make mistakes, and institutions can lose their moral compass. So how can we navigate through all this?

      In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgement and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and heading the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources–their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately–and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we relink these four foundations of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life.
      ?
      Thoughtful, accessible, winsome, and deeply wise, The Road to Wisdom leads us beyond current animosities to surer footing. Here is the moral, philosophical, and scientific framework with which to address the problems of our time–including distrust of public health, partisanship, racism, response to climate change, and threats to our democracy–but also to guide us in our daily lives. This is a book that will repay many readings, and resolve dilemmas that we all face every day.

    • Karl Marx And The Satanic Roots Of Communism

      $16.99

      Karl Marx, Coauthor of the revolutionary text The Communist Manifesto, grew up in a Christian family, and his early writings showed belief in Christian worldview. Yet in his adulthood, Marx embraced a deep personal rebellion against God and all Christian values. In Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism, Richard Wurmbrand explores the development of Marx’s antireligious perspective that led to the philosophical foundations of communism.

      By examining Marx’s writings as well as biographical accounts, Wurmbrand builds a convincing case that Marx adhered to a belief system that opposes God. This book provides significant insight to why Christians and the church have been targeted by Marxists and Communists alike as it exposes the evil roots of a theory and government system that continue to persecute Christians in the present.

      Richard Wurmbrand (1909 -2001) endured 14 years of prison in Communist Romaniafor his Christian witness. His wife, Sabina (1913 -2000), spent three years in prison for her faith. After Richard and Sabina were ransomed from Romania, They founded The Voice of the Martyrs in 1967 to help families of imprisoned Christians in Communist nations and other countries where Chrsitans are persecuted for their faith.

    • Myth And Meaning In Jordan Peterson

      $18.99

      Popular philosopher Jordan Peterson has captured the imagination of Western world.

      For some, Peterson represents all that is wrong with patriarchal culture; for others, he is the Canadian academic prophet who has come to save civilization from dizzying confusion. Regardless of how one feels about him, his influence in North America–and beyond–is difficult to deny.

      While the “Peterson phenomenon” has motivated numerous articles and responses, much of what has been written is either excessively fawning or overly critical. Little has been produced that explores Peterson’s thought–especially his immensely popular 12 Rules for Life–within the context of his overall context and scholarly output. How is one to understand the ascendency of Jordan Peterson and why he’s become so popular? Does his earlier Maps of Meaning shed light on how one might understand his worldwide bestseller, 12 Rules for Life?In Myth and Meaning in Jordan Peterson, scholars across various disciplines explore various aspects of Jordan Peterson’s thought from a Christian perspective. Both critical and charitable, sober-minded and generous, this collection of ten essays is a key resource for those looking to faithfully engage with Jordan Peterson’s thought.

    • Introduccion A La Teologia Cri – (Spanish)

      $19.99

      En las ultimas decadas ha surgido un nuevo movimiento que lleva las herramientas conceptuales de la filosofia analitica a la reflexion teologica. Llamada teologia analitica, busca traer una claridad de pensamiento y un uso disciplinado de la logica al trabajo de la teologia cristiana constructiva. En esta introduccion a la teologia analitica para especialistas y no especialistas por igual, Thomas McCall expone lo que es y lo que no es. La meta de este campo creciente y energetico no es la eliminacion de todo misterio en la teologia. Al mismo tiempo, insiste en que el misterio no debe confundirse con la incoherencia logica. McCall explica las conexiones de la teologia analitica con las Escrituras, la tradicion cristiana y la cultura, usando estudios de caso para iluminar su discusion. Mas alla de la mera descripcion, McCall llama a la disciplina a un compromiso mas profundo con los recursos tradicionales de la tarea teologica.

      An Invitation to Analytic Christian Theology

      In recent decades a new movement has arisen, bringing the conceptual tools of analytic philosophy to bear on theological reflection. Called analytic theology, it seeks to bring a clarity of thought and a disciplined use of logic to the work of constructive Christian theology. In this introduction to analytic theology for specialists and non-specialists alike, Thomas McCall lays out what it is and what it isn’t. The goal of this growing and energetic field is not the removal of all mystery in theology. At the same time, it insists that mystery must not be confused with logical incoherence. McCall explains the connections of analytic theology to Scripture, Christian tradition and culture, using case studies to illuminate his discussion. Beyond mere description, McCall calls the discipline to a deeper engagement with the traditional resources of the theological task.

    • Thiselton On Hermeneutics

      $98.99

      Anthony Thiselton’s masterful work in the field of hermeneutics has impacted countless students and scholars over the past several decades. Especially influential was his Two Horizons (1980), a call to take seriously the contexts of both the reader and the text. Thiselton’s work continues to carry much weight, yet there has been no single place to go to access a helpful array of his writings — until now.

      Thiselton on Hermeneutics provides select expositions and critical discussions of hermeneutics as a multidisciplinary area. Biblical interpretation, philosophical hermeneutics, literary theory, postmodernism, and Christian theology genuinely interact in these forty-two studies to form a coherent whole. Thiselton’s unique interactive and multidisciplinary approach shines through the volume. Ten of these essays — almost a quarter of the collection — are new (never published before) or quite recent.

      Theologians, biblical scholars, philosophers, and many other academics will appreciate this distillation of the pioneering perspectives and creative insights of Anthony C. Thiselton.

    • Cyberdimension : A Political Theology Of Cyberspace And Cybersecurity

      $37.00

      In 2013, Edward Snowden released a trove of documents revealing the extent of government electronic surveillance. Since then, we have been inundated with reports of vicious malware attacks, election hacking, data breaches, potential cyberwars, fights over Net Neutrality, and fake internet news. Where once discussion of cyberspace was full of hope of incredible potential benefits for humanity and global connection, it has become the domain of fear, anxiety, conflict, and authoritarian impulses. As the cloud of the Net darkens into a storm, are there insights from Christian theology about our online existence? Is the divine present in this phenomenon known as cyberspace? Is it a realm of fear or a realm of hope?

      In The Cyberdimension, Eric Trozzo engages these questions, seeking not only a theological means of speaking about cyberspace in its ambiguity, but also how the spiritual dimension of life provokes resistance to the reduction of life to what can be calculated. Rather than focusing on the content available online, he looks to the structure of cyberspace itself to find a chastened yet still expectant vision of divinity amidst the political, economic, and social forces at play in the cyber realm.

      Winner of a 2004 ECPA Gold Medallion Award! Winner of an Award of Excellence in the 2003 Chicago Book Clinic! What is real?What is truth? What can we know? What should we believe? What should we do and why? Is there a God? Can we know him? Do Christian doctrines make sense? Can we believe in God in the face of evil? These are fundamental questions that any thinking person wants answers to. These are questions that philosophy addresses. And the answers we give to these kinds of questions serve as the the foundation stones for consrtucting any kind of worldview. In Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview J.P. Moreland and William Lane Craig offer a comprehensive introduction to philosophy from a Christian perspective. In their broad sweep they seek to introduce readers to the principal subdisciplines of philosophy, including epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, ethics and philosophy of religion. They do so with characteristic clarity and incisiveness. Arguments are clearly outlined, and rival theories are presented with fairness and accuracy. Philosophy, they contend, aids Christians in the tasks of apologetics, polemics and systematic theology. It reflects our having been made in the image of God, helps us to extend biblical teaching into areas not expressly addressed in Scripture, facilitates the spiritual discipline of study, enhances the boldness and self-image of the Christian community, and is requisite to the essential task of integrating faith and learning. Here is a lively and thorough introduction to philosophy for all who want to know reality.

    • True Paradox : How Christianity Makes Sense Of Our Complex World

      $17.99

      How do we explain human consciousness? Where do we get our sense of beauty? Why do we recoil at suffering? Why do we have moral codes that none of us can meet? Why do we yearn for justice, yet seem incapable of establishing it? Any philosophy or worldview must make sense of the world as we actually experience it. We need to explain how we can discern qualities such as beauty and evil and account for our practices of morality and law. The complexity of the contemporary world is sometimes seen as an embarrassment for Christianity. But law professor David Skeel makes a fresh case for the plausibility and explanatory power of Christianity. The Christian faith offers plausible explanations for the central puzzles of our existence, such as our capacity for idea-making, our experience of beauty and suffering, and our inability to create a just social order. When compared with materialism or other sets of beliefs, Christianity provides a more comprehensive framework for understanding human life as we actually live it. We need not deny the complexities of life as we experience it. But the paradoxes of our existence can lead us to the possibility that the existence of God could make sense of it all.

    • Analogical Turn : Rethinking Modernity With Nicholas Of Cusa

      $41.99

      In the face of the late modern crisis of Western science and culture, The Analogical Turn recovers Nicholas of Cusa’s alternative vision of modernity, and, in doing so, develops a fresh perspective on the challenges of our time.

      In contrast to Cusa’s mainstream contemporaries, his appreciation of individuality, creativity, and scientific precision was deeply rooted in the analogical rationality of the Middle Ages. He revived and transformed the tradition of scientific realism in a manner which now, retrospectively, offers new insights into the completely ordinary chaos of postmodern everyday life.

      Johannes Hoff offers a new vision of the history of modernity and the related secularization narrative, a deconstruction of the basic assumptions of postmodernism, and an unfolding of a liturgically grounded concept of common sense realism in this original book.

      God Is Busy Fixing Things

      How do I know this? I’ve been one of his co-workers for more than fifty years. I’ve been one with Him in building His church. I’ve been one with Him in making disciples. I’ve been one with Him in building homes. I’ve been one with Him in uniting brothers and sisters in Christ. I’ve been one with Him in restoring sinning brothers, and rebuilding shattered relationships.

      Summing everything together, I have been and still am one with Him fixing that which got broke in Genesis three. Namely, His crowning creation; (mankind, you and me)

      Only He can fix us. He fixes us one at a time. He always does His fixing in a vital way, through His Living Word by His Spirit.

      As one of His co-workers my part is to prayerfully use His tools (His Word, His Cross, His Gifts) in total dependence upon His Spirit to fix people on the inside. When He does and continues to do His work of fixing (regenerating and sanctifying) broken people, I get my reward in seeing transformed lives and homes like you will read about in this book.

      As He imparts life to the dead and they continue to grow:
      The proud become humble.
      The covetous become generous.
      The angry become meek.
      The bitter become sweet.
      The divided become united.
      The Self-centered become God-centered.

    • Gods Problem : How The Bible Fails To Answer Our Most Important Question Wh

      $20.99

      In times of questioning and despair, people often quote the Bible to provide answers. Surprisingly, though, the Bible does not have one answer but many “answers” that often contradict one another. Consider these competing explanations for suffering put forth by various biblical writers:
      The prophets: suffering is a punishment for sin
      The book of Job, which offers two different answers: suffering is a test, and you will be rewarded later for passing it; and suffering is beyond comprehension, since we are just human beings and God, after all, is God
      Ecclesiastes: suffering is the nature of things, so just accept it
      All apocalyptic texts in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament: God will eventually make right all that is wrong with the world

      For renowned Bible scholar Bart Ehrman, the question of why there is so much suffering in the world is more than a haunting thought. Ehrman’s inability to reconcile the claims of faith with the facts of real life led the former pastor of the Princeton Baptist Church to reject Christianity.

      In God’s Problem, Ehrman discusses his personal anguish upon discovering the Bible’s contradictory explanations for suffering and invites all people of faith-or no faith-to confront their deepest questions about how God engages the world and each of us.

    • Religious Mystery And Rational Reflection A Print On Demand Title

      $23.99

      How should philosophy approach what by definition surpasses its competence? Can it do more than describe the religious experience without discussing its object? Can religion make genuine truth claims – especially when so much suffering and evil in the world seem to go against them?

      These are some of the basic questions raised in the first part of this collection of essays by Louis Dupre. A philosophical analysis of faith must take account of the unique system of symbols in which it expresses its belief, rituals, and modes of worship. The justification of religious symbols has become a particular problem in an age that tends to separate the objective from the subjective, interpreting the former literally and denying objective reality to the latter. In essays on von Balthasar’s theory of religious form and on the nature of ritual, Dupre attempts to restore the original meaning of religious symbols, while integrating them with the modern emphasis on human creativity.

      Only after having secured the intrinsically symbolic nature of the religious act can philosophy discuss the religious experience without running the risk of ending in pure subjectivism. The third part of this work is devoted to the mystical experience as well as to the low-key religious experience characteristic of believers living an a secular culture. In the light of a negative theology (in which this entire work was written), the two appear to have surprisingly much in common.
